MacMurray Estate Vineyards is deeply rooted in Sonoma County. Our namesake vineyard, MacMurray Ranch, has been a farmstead since the 1850s, farmed by the Porter family until actor Fred MacMurray bought the ranch in 1941. Fred embraced the rancher's lifestyle, raising prize-winning cattle and farming crops here for decades, while his children rode horses through the hills. Fred's daughter the actress, screenwriter and activist Kate MacMurray retains an indelible tie to the estate, helping us share the heritage of our namesake vineyard, historic property and celebrated wine.
